To ask the Scottish Government whether there has been any assessment of the potential impact of a reported reduction in funding by Integration Joint Boards (IJB) on dementia services. In addition to the overall financial envelop for Health and Social Care reaching record levels at £21.7 billion in 2025-26, the budget includes almost £2.2 billion for social care and integration – exceeding our commitment to increase funding by 25% by almost £350 million.Despite this, I recognise the challenges that Health and Social Care Partnerships are facing in balancing budgets during current financial pressures.Whilst the Scottish Government has overall responsibility for health and social care support policy in Scotland, it is for local authorities and health boards to work with the Health and Social Care Partnerships to ensure that social care support services are in place to provide people with the appropriate support.
